Two Guys, Two Beards, Two Suits, Two Thousand MPH On Skateboards

[Direwolf]

This video is both beautiful, and amazing. Might want to skip the first few minutes to the beginning of the run, but it's worth it.

You rang?

 

[Direwolf]

Okay, not quite 2000mph. But has to be close.

 

[Sam]

I just watched it through, and that is amazing. I'd love to do that but I'd just end up plowing my face in the road and making a terrible mess.

 

[Raziaar]

Man that is just... I would kill to be able to achieve that without dying. That would be more exhilarating than skydiving!

 

[kineaesth]

I got vertigo.

 

[Dog--]

You guys have no idea how much I wanted one of them to wipe out.

Would have been amazing, even more amazing then them going downhill flawlessly.

 

[kineaesth]

I don't think it would be possible to crash doing that without dying, though D:

 

[Tyguy]

they would only lose about 40 pounds of flesh at the most...

Live, die.. I still get my laugh.

How did they maintain that speed?

How did they maintain that speed?

gravity

 

[DEATHMASTER]

lol.
That was epic though. I'd love to do something like that.

 

[unozero]

wow

 

[Tyguy]

I might consider that on a bike, but jesus...one pebble and its goodbye spinal fluid

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Maybe if it's roller blades. Skateboards aren't as fragile.

you're not as fragile

uhm...is it just me that notices how this is fake? Its clearly edited, the person is wayyyy to close to the camera man when he goes around him which he does several times. Also you can see that the skateboard is kind of hovering/not leveled with the ground at some points. Great video techniques though, but not real I would guess they filmed it from a motorbike, then bluescreened the guy doing his stuff on the skateboard with a strong windblower, then moved him around in the video using editing skills, added a matte shadow.


Unless someone can prove me otherwise, it could be real, but im very sceptical

EDIT: watching it again changes my mind. Didnt notice they were handing the camera back and forth. Gah i dont know what to believe

 

[DEATHMASTER]

lol you serious

I think your reaching a tad, looked 100% legit to me.

 

[Ravioli]

ok im convinced now, its real. Still amazes me, how the hell can they keep control? How can they focus on pointing the camera etc, arent they scared of crashing into each other?

My life has no meaning anymore, because i wont ever be able to do something as epic as this
